NULC Basketball to Make History

Basketball is on the rise at NULC, and with the latest news it cannot be denied. The Newcastle under Lyme Ladies Basketball Team won the West Midlands Regional’s on Wednesday in Birmingham.

The ladies Basketball team was established in 2013 and in its first year in existence they managed to win a division title and this year they would go on to win the West Midlands Regional Tournament which will send them to Bath to represent the region.

In a long grueling day of Basketball the Ladies team, who are coached by Kieran Jones would knock off Birmingham Mets in the finals to secure their spot at Bath.

In October the Men’s Basketball Team secured their spot in Bath by winning the West Midland Regional Tournament in Worcester. With both teams advancing to the regional championships in bath this marks a first in school history in regards to basketball.

Coach Jamison had this to say,” I’m very proud of the Ladies for advancing to the regional Championships. They have put in the time and effort and have been rewarded for it. I have to give a special mention to Coach Jones, who have pushed the ladies to the limit and maximized their basketball potential.”
